It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best gatherings are those that are the most spacious and roomy." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Amrah that Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) was informed of a funeral among his people. He came when the people had already taken their seats; when the people saw him, they drew aside (to make room for him), and he sat in a corner. Then he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best gatherings are the most spacious." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
